Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Teng uses cognitive behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. This approach is useful for coping with life changes, stress, and problems with motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teng will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods together. Clients and therapist collaborate on pacing, homework, and the skills most likely to help reach stated goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face to face, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be used for short check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue therapy when schedules change.
